Children yanked from beds and zip-tied as 300 ICE agents raid apartment complex Over 300 armed federal agents swarmed a five-story apartment complex late Tuesday evening in what became an hours-long immigration raid.

Real men don’t zip-tie children.

On August 27, 2025, Petitioner was arrested at the Carson Car Wash in Carson, California by uniformed Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) officers and unidentified plainclothes federal agents. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 48; Santiago Decl. ¶ 3. During the arrest, Petitioner sustained severe leg injuries. See Pet. ¶ 48; Santiago Decl. ¶ 5. He was handcuffed and transported by CBP to the emergency room at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Carson, California. Id. At the hospital, Petitioner was admitted under a “blackout” procedure for patients in law-enforcement custody and was registered under the pseudonym “Har Maine UNK Thirteen.” Santiago Decl. ¶ 7. Federal agents remained at Petitioner’s bedside during admission, transfer to non-public treatment areas, and throughout his stay, keeping him handcuffed to his hospital bed. Id. ¶ 6. On or about August 27, 2025, CBP transferred custody of Petitioner to ICE. See Pet. ¶ 48. He remains detained at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center under the supervision of ICE, which has contracted with Spectrum Detention Services (“Spectrum”) to provide guards. See Santiago Decl. ¶ 8; Pet. ¶ 48. Since that date, two to four uniformed guards—either Spectrum employees or ICE agents—have been continuously stationed in Petitioner’s hospital room, monitoring him at all times, including while he sleeps, eats, uses the restroom, or receives medical care. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 9–10.

ICE has been paying private security for 24/7 guards to watch a guy with no record whose leg they fucked up so badly he has been in a hospital for over a month, and we wonder why people were handing Tom Homan bags of cash.

Violence and performative brutality are central to fascism. The Miller/Vought regime is moving the needle by getting people - used to random brutality, mostly at a targeted group for hatred.

Arnold Samuel Goodstein (born April 17, 1944) is a lawyer and former politician in South Carolina. He served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1971 to 1973 and the South Carolina Senate in 1969 and 1970 and again from 1975 to 1979. He is Jewish.

Brutality is not just an incidental feature of fascism — it is central to how fascist movements gain, maintain, and justify power. It serves political, psychological, and ideological purposes. Here’s a breakdown of its role:

The rise of America’s hard left Economic populists offer an alternative to the authoritarian right, but they have to balance the righteous with the practical

"Whether Democrats win or lose points for their populist stance in the current government shutdown will tell us much about the depth of support for the hard left. But what’s already clear is that the centre is not holding." The center offers nothing.

Brutality is not just an incidental feature of fascism — it is central to how fascist movements gain, maintain, and justify power. It serves political, psychological, and ideological purposes. Fascist violence normalizes aggression and fuses it with nationalism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r28j...

A coin from Kash to motivate his FBI agents. "This is not a challenge coin: It is something kids use to pop the caps off beer bottles at a gaming meetup...It is as unserious as the director himself, a metal symbol of the hollowness of Patel’s leadership." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Got a Minute or Two?: The Attack in Chicago The night-time raid on a Chicago apartment building and its residents is an ugly escalation by an immoral regime—and an attack on all decent people

"What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes? Who does that? What kind of govt permits its agents to abuse American citizens & non-citizens w/o the slightest concern for their rights, their well-being, indeed their basic humanity?"

David, this guy is fascist to the core. Always has been. I wouldn't doubt that he keeps a copy of Mein Kampf under his pillow.

Our dementia-addled President In Name Only hacks it up on the golf course again this weekend while rage-boy Gestapo Miller seethes and plots the 4th Reich.

Fight.

Elon Musk, the Anti-Defamation League and the right: what’s behind the latest blow-up? The Jewish advocacy and anti-hate group is at the center of a rightwing backlash campaign led by Musk over the ADL’s online database on extremism

You can't play footsie with fascists and expect that they stand with you when they in fact, hate you. ADL used to do some good by bringing attention to bigots and haters. These days they spend more time fighting the Dem left than they do the actual fascists. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

"Processing centers" are euphemisms for concentration camps. For the people detained inside the facility, they describe not receiving adequate food or water, and having to use the bathroom in public. One person described not having soap or toothpaste and dealing with severely overcrowded conditions.

All this fascist cosplay may please the babbling baboon but Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are serious about their White Christo-Fascist plans and see all this as preparation for complete control. ICE thugs are playing the role of NAZI black shirt thugs. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
